Not only was this glorious day my first phish show it was also my first concert. I'd seen bar shows prior but nothing this large(actually small) or outside or anywhere near as amazing. I actually wrote the band a few day afterwards. " Dear phish, your Buffalo(darien lake) was mind blowing". Thst was all I wrote. Less than a month later I get a postcard, a Pollock none the less, from Mike that reads,
" Dear *****, of all the shows from this tour, we like Buffalo the best. Mike Gordon" Almost 15 years later at a CD release party at a, now closed, record store I met him and he resigned it. Telling me " I can't believe you kept this for so long". Of course I did mike. It's one of my most precious items. Anyway, great show, amazing setlist and one of the finest days of my life. If anyone knows of or has video/images from this show I would be forever grateful. I've searched consistantly for years with no luck. Btw, someone mentioned the encore being "average for the time", which is just completely insane since La Grange has been played only a handful of times ever. I think 10 times??
